How about criticizing the Gov’t, and the thousands of lights left on unnecessarily every day in the dozens of federal buildings that are unneeded. How about criticizing flying a dog on a taxpayer funded vacation on it OWN plane. You want to talk about disrespect for the environment? It is a two-sided discussion. Conservatives are tired of the BS being thrown at them from every direction. We know you have swallowed the Climate Change story hook line and sinker, but we’ll wait for unbiased scientific evidence.

The mercury that CFLs contain can pollute the environment far longer than the light bulb itself will ever last – especially when there are concerns about careless individuals that may dispose of them improperly. One can be pro-conservation and still rightfully refuse to buy CFLs if they are using LEDs or going without light altogether.
